It was the morning of Jason and Aria's wedding. Aria woke up in her bed with a smile on her face that could not be taken away. And Jason also woke up with a smile on his face knowing that in a few hours time Aria Montgomery was going to be Aria DiLaurentis.
"Good morning honey!" Ella Montgomery beamed as she entered her daughter's bedroom.
"Hey mom!"
"Hanna and Spencer are here. They're downstairs."
"Hanna's up at this time?" Aria furrowed her eyebrows and then smiled even more.
"I have breakfast prepared. So I would say head down there as soon as possible or Mike is going to have eaten it all."
Aria laughed and kissed her mom's cheek as she walked out of her room.
"Good morning honey!" Jessica DiLaurentis greeted Jason as he walked downstairs.
"Hey mom."
"I just got off the phone with your father. He should be here in the next 30 minutes."
"He's actually decided he's going to come?" Jason asked as he sat down to eat the breakfast his mother made.
"Of course! I made him realise the importance of family. And the fact that family is much higher on the priority pyramid than business."
Jason smiled and ate the brioches his mother had set aside for him.
Three hours later, Jason had arrived at the church with his parents and maternal grandparents. David was nowhere insight which Jason was partly relieved about. "It looks beautiful Jason."
"It does doesn't it? I hope Aria likes it." Jason told his grandmother.
"I'm sure she will. There's nothing to dislike darling."
Jason smiled and kissed his grandmother's cheek before leading her to the front of the church.
As Jason and his family settled in the church, Aria and her family were just leaving Rosewood with her bridemaids closely behind. At exactly 1.30pm Aria and the bridal party arrived. Jason was told that they were here and stood up ready to make Aria Montgomery his wife. Taking in a few deep breaths when he heard the organ, he turned around to watch the procession of beautiful women, eagerly waiting to see his favourite. The first bridemaid to walk down the aisle was Sapphire who was followed by Hanna and then by Spencer. A few moments later Aria emerged - her arm locked with Byron's. Jason could not rid the smile that he had on his face when he saw Aria. Their eyes locked and they both bit on their lips at the same time - reminding themselves they weren't in a dream, this was really happening. As Aria reached the end of the aisle, Byron kissed her cheek and gave Jason her hand.
The reverand began his sermon. After fifteen minutes, the reverand asked Jason to recite his vows. Jason and Aria had specially asked if they could recite their own vows before the formal ones.
"Aria, my beautiful princess. I thought this day would never happen. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that you'd see the good side in me. The side that took so many people a long, long time to acknowledge. The side that's been there all along. And the side that you brought out of me after chipping away at my shell. The first time I saw you was when you came to my house with Ali. The first thing I noticed about you was the pink in your hair. It was something that I knew Ali wouldn't like but you still had it there for all those months which made me respect you alot. You weren't one of the girls to succumb to Ali's idea of perfection. On the 17th of november was the first time we kissed and honestly that was the day I started falling for you even more than I had done. Never did I think it was possible to love someone as much as I love you. And I promise to love you for the rest of my life."
Aria took a few moments to compose herself before she recited her own vows.
"At the start of my junior year of high school was the day that you came back into my life and with you also came all those feelings I had for you. At that point I don't know what I felt but I was drawn to you. You were so mysterious that I had to get into your shell - which I did. And I'm so happy that I got you to open up to me. Unfortunately at that time in my life I was unavaliable, but that didn't stop me kissing you on november 17th. I don't regret it one bit. And these past three years we've been together are honestly the happiest three years of my life. So thank you for that. I love you so much and can't wait to start a family with you. And I promise to love you for the rest of my life."
Jason bit on his lower lip and smiled at Aria - eyes brightening at the prospect of mini Aria's and mini Jason's running around.
The reverand asked for the rings. As David who was meant to be Jason's best man didn't turn up, Mr DiLaurentis took over. Fortunately for Aria and Jason, Jason had not given the rings to David to look after so Mr DiLaurentis took the velvet box containing both rings out of his blazer.
"I, Jason DiLaurentis, take you, Aria Montogomery, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward; for better for worse, for richer for poorer and in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish you, til death do us part. Jason slid the pretty ring onto Aria's fourth finger. "With my body I honour you, all that I am I give to you, and all that I have I share with you, within the love of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit."
"I, Aria Montgomery, take you, Jason DiLaurentis, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day foward; for better for worse, for richer for poorer and in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish you, til death do us part. Aria slid the wedding band onto Jason's finger with ease. "With my body I honour you, all that I am I give to you, all that I have I share with you, within the love of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit."
Jason and Aria stood holding each others hands. The Reverand said "Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Mr and Mrs DiLaurentis! You may now kiss your bride.."
"NO!" they heard boom from the entrance of the church.
Shocked, everyone turned their head and saw someone they thought they would not see ever again. Ezra Fitz. Aria gripped onto Jason's hands tighter and she struggled to compose herself. "You can't marry him!" Mr DiLaurentis and Byron took action and left their seats to remove Ezra from the church. "How can you marry HIM?!" Ezra picked up and hymnal and threw it to the ground in rage. "An ex-stoner, an ex-drunk!" Ezra kicked away the book he had just thrown to the floor. Mr DiLaurentis grabbed Ezra by the scruff of his neck and literally threw him out of the church. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" Byron yelled at Ezra as he lay on the ground. "You and Aria have been over for years! Why chose NOW to come back?! You have ruined my daughter's wedding!" Byron stormed back into the church with Mr DiLaurentis following shaking his head in disgust. As they entered they could see a visibly upset Aria being consoled by Jason.
"I'm sorry our day was ruined baby." Jason kissed the top of Aria's head as she wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his chest. "Next time I see him I swear.."
Aria shook his head "Leave him. He's not worth our time." Aria wiped her tears as Ella and Jessica DiLaurentis approached the couple.
A few minutes later, the Reverand informed them that it was time to sign the register. After going to the toilet to sort out her make up with Hanna and Spencer, Aria returned fresh faced and ready for photos.
